Answer:

heat engines

Step-by-step explanation:

These devices are called heat engines. For example, in a steam engine, pistons remove some thermal energy from hot gases. The steam engine then uses these moving pistons to power whatever it is hooked up to, thus converting thermal energy into kinetic energy.

Hope this helped and have a good day
